Really? So I’m guessing you are saying Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Juve, Man City and U, Arsenal, and PSG are the only quality teams? By that logic there are only 10-20 quality match ups a year in club and CL play combined. Engage in hyperbole much? And this gets thumbs up comments? C’mon people.

Excellent win for BVB. Win in Marseille and their through, although if Arsenal beat Napoli and BVB get a draw against Marseille, BVB still get through but don’t wont to count on the Arsenal-Napoli game.

I was able to watch the game online (for free via streaming) and I must say, BVB seems to be having some difficulties finishing when they are in the box. It’s been a problem in their last 4 games. Lewandowski in particular. Hope it’s only a minor hiccup.

I don’t see much to worry about with Marseille even with Dortmund not playing at their best currently. Other than the first 10 minutes of the second half, they looked completely disinterested against Arsenal and were fortunate not to give up more.

Chelsea were pretty bad today but luckily for them Schalke screwed up so they make it to the next round and will likely win the group.

I wonder what FOX will do next week, I doubt they will put Schalke-Basel on one of their top networks despite that match being pretty much a play-in game…same with Milan-Ajax. Or will they stick with showing Chelsea-Steaua (zzzz)
